ABOUT US

The Club meets at the CWA Hall in Queen Street, Moruya on the 2nd Wednesday of each month commencing at 7.30pm (Hall open from 6.30pm).

No meeting in January - date and location of December meeting varies.

Members should bench their plants by 7.00pm for judging.

A Sales Table is available where members can purchase pots, growing media, fertilisers and other specialist items.

Members can sell-off surplus orchids through the Sales Table - the Club retains 10% commission.

Members are classified as either 'novice' or 'open' exhibitors for Show purposes.

All new members are automatically placed in the 'novice' category until they demonstrate orchid-growing expertise.

At least two competitive Shows are held each year in Moruya and Narooma.

All members are expected to help with the running of Shows.

The Club also mounts exhibition displays in local shopping centres.

The Club is affiliated with the Orchid Society of NSW and the Australian Orchid Council. These bodies organise shows at State and National levels and train and regulate judges and judging standards. Arrangements can be made for more advanced growers to attend judging courses if they wish.

The Club supports research into orchid culture and the study and conservation of our native orchids by making regular donations to the Australian Orchid Foundation.The Club's library of orchid-related books and journals is available free to members.

Members are encouraged to mix socially through a program of outings to shows and places of interest, not always with an orchid context.
